I just realized I have been taking care of Ringo, Canary, incorrectly, for months. He is too skinny, as I now know, I quit blowing out his shells, so he could get more to eat, daily. I don't know why I stopped this. I didn't realize Canaries don't
Offer a fortified seed mix supplemented with cooked beans and vegetables (carrots, peas, etc). Fresh water should be available at all times. A mineral block and/or cuttlebone should also be placed in the cage. Keep the room at a steady temp and keep the cage away from strong drafts. You can mist him with warm water a few times weekly to promote preening and healthy plumage. Monitor for lethargy, decreased appetite and loose droppings. If necessary, have him physically examined by your veterinarian or an experienced avian veterinarian.

I have 2 parakeets and I have been feeding them seeds and millet. I believe that what I am currently feeding them is not nutritious. I am currently training them to eat fruit and vegetables and to be hand tamed. I would like to know what food can I b

I have 2 budgies and 2 zebra finches that I love, but I feel like it is unfair for them to be in a cage all day. I need some advise on what I should do
Without knowing the size of the cage, it is hard to give advice. If they have a large flight cage where they can easily move around and exercise, then that may be enough. Adding in some fun toys to explore, moving dishes and toys around or rotating them out, offering treats to chew on, etc can all help increase enrichment and make things more fun for your birds. If they're kept in very small cages, then looking for a playpen that can fit in the room or on top of the cage may be nice for your birds to climb on or play on. However, finches tend to explore more and may want to fly around, so it is best to make sure they are only let loose in rooms where they can easily be caught again and cannot fly into windows, doors, or other dangerous objects that can cause injury or death.

I have a small sparrow like bird of white color. His name is pippo. Ibought him from a pet shop. He has been with me for 6 months. I think he is sick. He is doing very less physical activities , sleeping more , eating less, falls when flying , fillin
Thanks for reaching out about your finch and including photos. A veterinary visit is recommended but understand if one is not available, but only limited things can be done at home. Weakness can have multiple causes, with infections being only one possibility. Provide heat support in the 80-85 F range can give some support. Finches eat primarily seed but also need a vitamin/mineral/protein support in the form of a wide variety of vegetables. Provide a soft bedding/towels on the bottom of the cage to protect if falls. Good luck.

I've been trying to get my pet lovebird to eat some fruits or veggies. I've put them in his cage, in his food bowl, I've eaten it in front of him, he doesn't want to touch it. It seems as if he's afraid of the foods I show him, how can I get my bird
It may be that Truffle still isn't sure that is food, and some birds that are raised on seed and not exposed to fruits/veggies at a young age may always be somewhat aversive to it. Continuing to offer a variety of fruits and veggies as treats is best until he tries one or you find one he enjoys.
